Great value for the area. Fantastic location, we parked on Friday and didn’t drive again until Sunday afternoon. The only draw back was how loud other guests were but you will get that everywhere during spring break. Bring ear plugs and an eye mask. Light came in from front door hallway.

Nice quiet, family friendly resort within walking distance to everything on the main strip and towards Pier 60. No need to take your vehicle out of the parking garage. Music from the neighboring hotel is a little loud into the late hours of the night.

Great beds and sheets were soft and luxurious. Storage for luggage was available upon arrival (if too early for check in), and check out (if you want to stay a little longer before leaving). Staff were courteous and helpful. It was our first time staying- but there were extra charges we weren't aware of- like renting a beach chair ($10/day) and a $10/day charge to support the aquarium.

We would stay again.

Polite and friendly staff. Room was as decribed. Only thing worth noting is the "partial ocean view" room was facing a multi story car park which was noisy at times but nothing we didn't cope with. We could see the ocean and did see dolphins from it! Attached restaurant was fabulous, ate there multiple times.

The hotel was very clean and everyone was very friendly. The only problem we had was we didn't know we need to keep a room key when checking out to get out of the garage, something the front desk should tell you when checking out. Would stay again, perfect location
